I have 1,000 Mbps coming into the house (a bit excessive but a plex server set up so I've mentally justified it).

Upstairs I have the Office PC with two NIC's.
  • WIFI 6
  • Powerline Adapter - Devolo Magic 2-2400 LAN
Unfortunately, neither of them are reaching potential coming in at:
  • 160 Mbps
  • 130 Mbps
Is it possible in Windows 10 to bond those connections. So I could theoretically get 300Mbps?

I'm using 16% of the connection, using 30% would make me happy (until I can hardwire it).

I read about "NIC Teaming" but comments say it's disabled these days?
 
I am running NIC teaming on Windows 10 on a couple of machines, one using 2 and the other 4 connections and it works fine with appropriate Ethernet NICs (mine are Intel 2 or 4 port NICs) and a little PowerShell to setup the teams. However that is all hard wired.
 
You generally need two identical NICs that support it and a special driver. In your case, just run a cable from the PC to the router.
agreed. run a cable and get all 1gbps.

teaming, depending on how you do it (supported NICs and switches etc), wont always combine all the bandwidth so even if it did work with the two existing adapters you most likely wont even see 300mbps on a basic home/pc network.
